This easy Crockpot Candy recipe is made in a slow cooker with chocolate, graham cereal, peanuts, and marshmallows! The crockpot does all the work and the result is the best chocolate candy ever!
Making crock pot candy is easy to make with simple ingredients! You just dump everything into the slow cooker and then let it cook for a few hours, until it’s all melty. Chocolate Peanut Clusters are also the perfect gift or addition to a holiday platter. Growing up crockpot candy was a yearly occurance so now I make it with my family too!
Ingredient Notes
- Nuts: I used roasted peanuts but you can use any kind of nut you like (regular cocktail peanuts, almonds, cashews, etc).
- Cereal: Instead of making plain old crockpot candy, I add Golden Grahams to make them more s’mores like.
- Almond Bark: I always use chocolate almond bark or Ghirardelli candy melts.
- Chocolate Chips: I used semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Marshmallows: I used mini marshmallows to complete the s’mores flavor.

How to make Crock-Pot Candy
- It’s important to place nuts and cereal in the bottom of a 6-7 quart crockpot. The chocolate will burn if it’s on the bottom. Place almond bark and chocolate chips on top.
- Cook on high for about 2 hours (check after 1 hour) or until the chocolate is melted – check it also to make sure it’s not burning around the edges.
- Once it’s melted, stir it to combine everything and then immediately scoop candy clusters onto wax paper lined baking sheets using two spoons or a cookie scoop.
Expert Tips
- You can also use walnuts or pecans for the nuts in this recipe
- You could also use white almond bark (I don’t recommend white chocolate chips)
- Sprinkle some sea salt on top for an extra flavor
- Store these treats at room temperature or in the fridge for up to a week or in the fridge for up to 3 months. Make sure to put them in an airtight container!

Can these be frozen?
Yes! They may be a bit cloudy when thawed but they’ll freeze and thaw and taste fine.
Great! Thank you so much! We will never eat them all at once, but I really want to make these! We love your recipes and have been using them for years!
looks good
If I wanted to make this for someone with nut allergies could I just leave out the nuts or would I need to add more cereal or something else?
Love everything about this! The candy looks amazing (Golden Grahams are my fave) and if I had a walmart close to me, I would be online shopping too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Prime Pantry is already getting lots of my business!)
